Thanks to Deal Hunter phoinix for sharing this deal.

Available from: About this book:
  • This book is about pleasure. It's also about pain. Most important, it's about how to find the delicate balance between the two, and why now more than ever finding balance is essential. We're living in a time of unprecedented access to high-reward, high-dopamine stimuli: drugs, food, news, gambling, shopping, gaming, texting, sexting, Facebooking, Instagramming, YouTubing, tweeting . . . The increased numbers, variety, and potency is staggering. The smartphone is the modern-day hypodermic needle, delivering digital dopamine 24/7 for a wired generation. As such we've all become vulnerable to compulsive overconsumption
  • In Dopamine Nation, Dr. Anna Lembke, psychiatrist and author, explores the exciting new scientific discoveries that explain why the relentless pursuit of pleasure leads to pain . . . and what to do about it. Condensing complex neuroscience into easy-to-understand metaphors, Lembke illustrates how finding contentment and connectedness means keeping dopamine in check. The lived experiences of her patients are the gripping fabric of her narrative. Their riveting stories of suffering and redemption give us all hope for managing our consumption and transforming our lives. In essence, Dopamine Nation shows that the secret to finding balance is combining the science of desire with the wisdom of recovery.

lol this site is dedicated to people addicted to the dopamine hit of getting $1 off Amazon-brand extension cords. It may not be "something new" like reading Einstein's theory of relativity in 1905 but it may be content that's still relevant!

This book is WILD. I'm sure a bunch of people will be turned off by the graphic nature of the first chapter or so. Or maybe that's a selling point?

Wild subject matter but still interesting. I really enjoyed it. Found it super short though and felt like there was room for more content.

The irony of this book being posted on slickdeals πŸ˜‚. Next we'll see it on kalshi, or a partnership with McDonald's

Anyone interested in the latest on dopamine could do well to listen to Huberman's 8/24/26 episode interviewing an Oxford brainiac neuroscientist for what I thought was an incredibly enlightening explanation of motivation and procrastination, including how dopamine shapes both https://pca.st/episode/d00d10c8-1...7a41afebbf
